Pixel XL 2 is nice but no headphone jack , no memory card at a price higher than Note 8 (which is already very expensive ). I think I will keep my original XL for another year

Misses some essential features and doesn't look great. The S8 does all that and is very affordable now..soon the N8 will follow suit. Again, the G6,V30 & U11 are also pretty solid options over this as long as you arent desperate for a vanilla android.

You guys are forgetting the price point provides you with 2 years youtube red, unlimited photo storage at full quality and 100TB of google drive storage. that alone is worth a lot of money. the vast majority of users use their microSD card to store photos and videos, which can now be stored on google's cloud.

i admit it doesn't look the greatest but it does have front facing stereo speakers and a solid OLED screen and a camera that promises very impressive results. every flagship that has been released is asking for around this price point to start. I think google is pretty much on par. it just depends what you need or want. if i were in the market for something new, i'd get this over the N8 cause it offers more of what i would use vs. the N8.

The Google photos upload is only until 2020 and I am pretty sure (though not 100%) that it is the same for 100 TB
